Anthony Cumia Is Mentally Unstable [Archive] - Page 6

and Norton is genuine too. I always root for him to get his celebrity picture and when he is ranting and hating on something i never think its from a phony place. even when i disagree with him, i know that Norton is coming from an honest place (unlike Anthony..who recently i feel is coming from a right wing/anti-obama vote-my way place)

Good point. He is definitely the real deal when he's talking. The only time I kinda feel he's overdoing something is when as ogre pointed out, he kinda lashes out into territory i don't find funny (adam walsh jokes) which is a double standard on my part since I still laugh my ass off to Lil' Conner jokes. Though I suppose fetus doom is funnier than child stuff.

Even then, he's coming from a genuine place. He obviously believes very strongly in the principle that you should be able to talk about anything and make fun of anything. Very similar to the debate George Carlin made about how rape can be funny.

the justification of this thread to me is just, anthony cumia does something mentally unstable we gotta talk about it, no? Hes just sooo unstable..its hard to resist!

Good point. He is definitely the real deal when he's talking.

on friday they had a girl in the audience that was an abortion nurse from florida and she said something that she made naked snow angels upon arriving to NY and seeing snow for the first time. Norton said something like "those angels, as opposed to those little angels she makes on a daily basis". it made me laugh so hard. i dont mind him "striking out" at the shocking humor cuz he has said some of the funniest things i ever heard in my life by going down the same roads

I usually post on another message board, and I think I generally disagree with much of the sentiment of this thread, like I think Ant is genuinely hilarious, and I really don't mind that he doesn't do voices, bits, etc anymore. That being said, I really agree when it comes to this Obama/black stuff.

I have no problem with people like Ron and Jimmy making black jokes, some of the stuff Ron would say to Earl was brutal, but I know it didn't come from some deeper place, and they're just jokes for them. When Ant makes these jokes where the punchline is just nigger being bleeped, or some "I didn't know Jane Goodall was on TV" line when Obama's family is shown, it really seems like it comes from less silly, more hateful place. I have the same problem with Nick Dipaolo.

My other turning point was when he started talking about going to niggermania. He says he visits extremist sites from all sides (and also that that's where he gets his news instead of the mainstream news networks), but while I'm sure he gets all pissed off at the liberal sites, it's clear that he shares some of the opinions on niggermania, and even gets audio for the show from there.

Regardless, I still love most of Ant's contributions to the show, but I also do really agree with a lot of what's being said here.

maybe not "find it funny" but i dont think any jews would be offended, no?

Yeah, I think people I know, specifically the ones I'm thinking of, would be offended - and these are not friends without genuine senses of humor - they are actaully very funny, and can be brutal too (including Holocaust jokes too) - BUT I could easily see them being upset, especially if cast against the backdrop of the current crop of black racist jokes - because, even fans are conceding that these are coming from a dark, unfunny, legitimate place - where's the hypocracy to now say, "Oh, but the Jewish jokes...those are real feelings?" I would not speak for them, but I don't see how you can suddenly make a difference between that, once you are willing to go there for one part.

he has embraced silliness and genuine funnyness instead of just being a shock comic. Norton has grown..without a doubt

Ok, but what if (!) someone was offended back in the day at the "bucket of AIDS" jokes - or what if someone simply said they weren't very funny? There was/is an army of people who would get defensive and say, "You don't get it" or "You don't get edgy/cringe humor!" Hell, there were a couple of fans who went too far after Freda Sorce's death and never understood the "cop out" that nothing should be off limits - what, then, do you say to that person who never got Norton 1.0 and people are saying that he has grown as a comic? To say he's "grown" would also mean that he has improved. If someone's sole complaint was that the shock for shock sake wasn't real humor, would they be right now in feeling vindicated if they see the act change - or is it (when boiled down) the fault of the fan for being willfully stubborn on what they find funny - to the point of being defensive bullies if others don't agree.

Because, in many ways I see that wall has been torn down now w/ Opie and especially Anthony.

i can't talk about what people find offensive or not. I dont even find Anthony's black talk offensive, i find it boring and white trash. The thing that annoys me most about his racism, especially his N(bleep) is the whole "look at the shock jock, he is soooooooo outrageous cuz hes getting away with using a word". And i get really annoyed at the whole "any white person that sees a black person as a human being is just a guilty white lib." its more an offense to my intelligence more than an offense for a race

See now I don't think he's put that over the air (at least not in words). After all Patrice comes in, and I don't think he doesn't see him as a person. I think, based on what he's said, that he just feels Black people are so radically different from white people that the two can never come together. The guilty white lib spin come when he sees a white person standing up for Black Civil rights, which by his definition just can not happen ever.

That's what I'm wondering. He's proven that he can work the more subtle racial angle Bennington-style, but from this summer on, he's taken a really blunt and vitriolic approach. This thought ran through my head right as Anthony pulled the plug on Danny's Guitar Hero loss; "Why would a HOST of a radio show choose to be the heel?". Because we heard Anthony on R&F's Christmas show say the whole Nazi thing is a bit, so I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt that he's not truly racist. We've heard plenty of terrific heels in the history of both shows, but never has the host taken that leap. And I believe it's a calculated character that Ant is putting on, which makes it more upsetting that he holds the audience in such low regard. :thumbdown:

Ant takes the view on two subjects that are contradictory. First he says that he would like every illegal alien sent home then secs later he says they should stay so they can take jobs from his fellow citizens because the aliens will do the jobs for less money! And thats a good thing.

He went on to say that legal workers should just shut up and take the work no matter what they are being paid or what the working conditions are and that unions ruined this country.

I know the whole rap how illegals(and temp alien workers too) are doing the work nobody wants to do and that is BS. Business's want the alien workers to keep wages down so the owners and management can have houses like Ant does! The full statement is illegals do work nobody else wants to do FOR WHAT THE PAY IS.

As far as unions go they are blamed for everything, they ruined Detroit bla bla bla. What did these greedy workers want, more than a sliver of what the car companies were making, a decent retirement, health care, what a bunch of pricks right.

Ant has made enough money for long enough now that he has forgotten what real life is for most people, he should be hanging out with Rush smoking cigars and giving more dopey advice to the "working class".

Anthony should read What's The Matter With Kansas (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/What%27s_the_Matter_With_Kansas%3F) by Thomas Frank.

The central idea of the book answers the question as to why these social conservatives continue voting with the Republican Party, even after their social issues never go anywhere and when the resultant economic policies "end their way of life." He says that this coalition is held together because of the belief of the social conservatives in a "liberal elite" which does not actually exist. This elite, according to Frank, does not respect the social conservatives or their "culture," disrespects family values and is responsible for just about everything that they see wrong in the world. Frank describes what he calls the "Plen-ti-Plaint." He says that this is the device the social conservatives use to outrage their voters. The Plen-ti-Plaint catalogues "ridiculous examples of liberal intolerance, such as discrimination against Christians or silly mascot issues." He says Bill O'Reilly uses this in his television show where he "gets indignant one day about the Insane Clown Posse and indignant the next about the man-boy love association." By using "explosive" social issues like gay marriage to blame the "liberal elite," the social conservatives remain in the Republican coalition, even against their own economic interest.

Did anyone hear Anthony tell the story today of when he answered his doorbell last night? Apparently a young guy was soliciting the neighborhood with a petition to advance some "green" initiatives in the community. Anthony said he was armed, as he always is once he's home, and leaned his arm high up on the doorway so his shirt lifted and the holster was exposed.

Creepy.

He didnt have to rant. He simply could have asked 50 what his opinions were about various things he brought up on the air. Even Opie alluded to the fact that Ant wouldn't say anything he's said in the past on the air on the FM side of things. And i thought that was funny.

And I'm not borderline upset. I just wanted him to be consistent aka put his money where his mouth was. After all he did say he wasnt afraid of black people except those who would over react to what he does as a "shock jock" n guess not.

02-26-2009, 10:55 AM

you guys are talking crazy. ant obviously doesnt KNOW 50 cent, so he's not gonna drop jokes and humor that the guy might not get or take offense to. obviously when patrice is in studio any has no problem joking around like his usual self. to try and claim that there's something wrong with ant for not telling his normal jokes that only his intimate friends and audience gets is crazy and naive. i dont think there's a point to prove. its just like how i would go to a wedding or formal event and rip ass and farts. sure i might joke with my friends doing that, but not at a wedding with strangers i dont know.

what i cant believe is that opie actually hung up on the back to the future guy pulling that gimmick on his friends who wanted that signed poster. that was really fucked up and honestly opie took that way too far. it wasnt even funny cause the joke was on his own show peoples.

02-26-2009, 11:13 AM

the 50 cent issue is more that Ant has spent so much time knocking Thug Culture and basically everything 50Cent stands for. Which is fine, but when 50 was in studio he treated him like he was some kind of hero and he acted like all his thug stuff was so cool and he didn't have to go to that extreme. Either way, i loved the 50cent interview, i found it fascinating. I knew nothing about 50 and whenever i heard him talk i thought he was partly retarded, but hearing him on the radio i was surprised at what a bright person and funny guy he was. made me look at him in a different way

A new problem i have with Anthony though is this thing he started to do (or at least i started to notice it). Someone will have a great point against what hes saying and Anthony will reply "fine, but what about..." and then rant about something completely different but talk angry and fast enough that the person making the point has to defend this new thing Anthony brought up when Ant never responded to the original thing. I would say its "political radio hack" but i'm sure the really big names in that industry use tactics like that. Still, the point of the O&A show has always been to "not go the hacky route" and i just think Anthony's politics is to political radio what those awful "Jocktober" bits are to comedic radio.

Reality has shown that Anthony isn't nearly as educated about the world as he thinks he is. Ant's constant misunderstanding about the reason why states can have certain bans on guns is a prime example. As a result, when he needs to make complex arguments about complex topics he pulls the same tricks that undereducated rubes of his ilk always do - they use arguments of emotion over those of logic. That's why he yells and rants which he hopes will shift the discussion away to something he's more comfortable with.

I agree, Anthony knows things, but that is far from being educated. An educated person knows how to look at information critically and form an opinion based on information available, and alter their view when new information is presented, an uneducated person simply repeats what they hear over and over again no matter what new information comes there way.

I don't mind political talk on entertainment shows as long as those discussing the issues are informed and make coherent, logical arguments to support their positions. Anthony does not enjoy such liberties. Listening to Ant talk politics is like listening to Jimmy talk about sports - they both have cursory knowledge of those subjects yet act like their words and opinions are gospel.

Black people are only black when a racist comment is said about them or alluded to and a shit storm get's started. These stereotypes would lose their power if fags didn't bring so much attention to them. (I'm looking at you Rev Al). People stopped paying attention to the KKK, they still exist, but no one gives a shit cause people stopped shining lights on them.

This stupid country is selectively racist and it's usually the person doing the accusing that is actually the racist one, not the person who made said comment etc that is being labeled as racist.

So you are saying that black leaders such as Reverend Al are racist for pointing it out perceived racism in society?

If that is your core argument, its the damned thing I've heard in awhile. Comparatively, it would be like calling an NFL referee a cheater for calling holding on an offensive lineman.

It's the same argument that undermines a lot of "first amendment advocacy" around here, and things Jimmy and Anthony say: they want to be able to say whatever the hell they want, with no consequences.

It's not enough to stop Sharpton et. al. from running a show off the air, which we all agree on (I think). They don't want Sharpton et. al. to call out anything for being racist at all.

But if you want this wild west view of free speech that Anthony and Jimmy and other want -- and which I do too -- you have to deal with the fact that people are going to attack back. And they don't seem willing to do that, and it really cheapens their opinions in my eyes.

If the rants were done with an understanding of the issues I would be 100% for it. Debate and open conversation is something to be valued these days. However when you have one guy that has an axe to grind, and that one guy has no grasp on the issue beyond how they effect his pile of cash, and his closed minded world view they are no longer valid.

Just the other day Jimmy said about Farrahkan "I don't like what he says but I defend his right too say it."

I think they decry Rev. Al for his Hypocrisy in not addressing Black on Black issues in the community. Big difference.

Your ideallistic view of how people should debate works in a High School debate club. 99% of debates come from a emotional or personnel view point. Reading up on a topic doesn't always make you understand the topic more, or your opinion more valid then someone else's. Half the newspapers or mags in this country have writers who "lean" the topic to there own views.

Its fucking hard to find pure fact, I got about 10 pages into the "Stim Package" on congress.gov or whatever and almost fell face first into the computer.

I am not looking for facts but I am looking for a guy that rants about socialism, capitalism, and how blacks should act now because there is a black president, to have a grasp for what the words actually mean, and not be a hypocrite about the fact that for every black ghetto there are 2 white trash neighborhoods that need cleaned up just as bad.

they had a couple of Ant's dire predictions/rants about blood letting if Obama wins in last week's Worst Of. He is like the Limbaugh for young white men in Long Island and New Jersey but worse because he knows nothing about politics. He really is the racist old man ranting about guns and taxes without knowing shit or even having the ability to seriously analyze these topics. I seriously hope that he lands on his feet when the O&A show breaks apart but I think he is too ignorant for a political show on any reputable channel.

To be honest, I don't think Ant's new webcasting studio is too mentally unstable. Opie has always been the technical force behind the show, running the studio board and doing all of the technical stuff that isn't done from the producer's studio.

Anthony is looking for some practical experience and a webcast seems to be a good way to get his feet wet. Ant can gain some technical chops and prepare for a future on his own without having to expose himself to a mass audience.

His subject matter may end up being ridiculous, but that is entirely up to him.

It kinda makes sense him doing a show on the web, he is a computer/ tech nerd and always have been of course he is going to use some new technology and play around with it. I'll give the show a listen unlike some of the people on these boards I don't have any emotional attachments to the drama he creates and or is involved in on the O&A show or on Paltalk or whatever. If it's good I'll continue to listen if it sucks I won't check it out anymore.

Yep - I will give it a listen before I condemn what Ant is doing. I don't follow a lot of his political views and don't particularly like how he "argues" sometimes, but this is a new venue and different show. It would be stupid to automatically write it off.

I'll give it a shot if I like it I'll continue listening to it if not I'll find something else.

Sorry I don't drink the hate Anthony Kool-Aid or the R&F can do no wrong Kool-Aid it is just possible to be a listener to both of these shows without having any attachment to them other then them entertaining me.

I'm just a listener there are tons of us out there who just enjoy the shows and could careless what a 50 some year old shock jock does in his spare time. These shows entertain me for a certain amount of time each day when they are off the air after the shows I could careless what he is doing, this also goes for Opie, Norton, Ron, Fez and the rest of the 202 staff.

I understand Anthony's whole life now.

I mean look at it this way, these pics obviously show him looking like a 3 at best.... So all the stuff he buys helps his ratings go up.

A 2 in a Chevy truck is like maybe a 3 but a 2 in an Escalade is a 5. So compound all of Anthony's stuff, the house, the other car, the guns, the trips, the gambling, just all of it. He is slowly working himself towards being a 10.

Anthony needs all the crap he has so he can find chicks that will fuck him. Which makes him even sadder then I had thought before.

Hey he called someone a ni55er lover today! It wasn't event a race discussion. Does that count for a legit post in this thread.

you've got to be kidding. someone agreed with Obama releasing torture memos and Ant called him that? what a stupid fucking thing to say. first of all, I hate the bell that rings when he says "nigger". Yeah, yeah I get it, the XM suits are politically correct wusses and in Ant's perfect world he could say "nigger" and "nigger lover" as much as he likes...I can't believe I listen to a show in which one of the hosts not only says "nigger" a hell of a lot but criticizes someone who supports our president's policies by calling him a "nigger lover".
At one point, I did like the O&A show. Recently I have listened to Ron and Fez mostly but would tune in to a worst of O&A because they often had Louie CK. Jesus Christ, "nigger lover" - who outside of white supremacist groups, Deep South rednecks, and ignorant old Long Island Italian men says that? What does that even mean?
I've been busy lately so I haven't had a chance to listen to XM lately. I tuned in to Ron and Fez yesterday and today after awhile. I had serious deja vu when they talked about Fez's problems. God, it was the same boring conversation they have had for the last couple of years. Yeah, I know "fuck you! we love Fez""If you don't love R&F then fuck off". I don't intend to get into a petty argument on ronfez.net about the show. I'm glad XM 202 has fans who are willing to follow the O&A and R&F through thick and thin, I'm just not one of them. This "nigger lover" comment is a weird camel's back-breaking moment for me and I need to stop listening to XM 202.

The caller was defending Obama's stance on waterboarding. That's why Ant called him that. Very grown up.

I'm glad he can so eloquently defend a clear violation of the Geneva Conventions.

Anthony called the caller who agreed with the president a "*bell ring* lover" so we all know what he meant. Then he kept yelling "thank you! thank you! die! die!" and yelled over the caller with descriptions of how he wants him to die. It really annoyed me because if they called up another radio show and the host just yelled over them they wouldve gone "that host was such a pussy, he wouldnt even let us talk" and Anthony did the same exact thing

Another thing i noticed that Anthony does a lot when talking about politics is, he starts going "im surprised how many people forget about 9/11..how we all felt on that day, everyone who disagrees with me forgot about 9/11" horseshit

Oh, and also he did a Hitler analogy at some point too. He couldnt be more hack when he goes into politics. It was a really embarrassing segment

OH so it was the bell ring thing? OK. That's a bit different. Obviously we know what he meant but not as blatant.

Was the caller being really persistent? I notice he gets frustrated and goes into that angry mode when that happens. I'd probably be the same way if I had to get up that early, cranky and whatnot. Sometimes it can make for good radio, sometimes not.

As for the waterboarding, I don't get what the big deal is. If it produces results, by all means, waterboard. It doesn't have any long lasting physical harm on the person and might save the lives of others. If they were putting a glass tube in a guys dick and shattering it, I'd have a problem with that. Dunking some guys head in the toilet and giving him a swirly? Go for it.

What do you consider torture? Some might consider being locked up in a cell as torture. What if you put that person in a room by themselves and have water dripping? Is that torture? And dunking someone's head in water? Is that really torture?

To me torture would imply something beyond physical discomfort. Basically it can't be "undone". Like screws in your nails, breaking knee caps, squeezing your balls until they explode or popping out your eye like in Casino.

Causing someone short term discomfort which doesn't cause bodily harm to save the lives of others, is that really torture?

I like Obama but I disagree with him on this one. I think the press is the reason it became such a big deal. They really blew it out of proportion.

I'm for causing people physical discomfort which makes them spit out the truth (hopefully) but leaves them unharmed in the end. If you want to call that torture, that's your business. So if you're wrong, at the end of the day the guy walks away unharmed.

I like Obama. I did some research using the internets and discovered the latest broohaha is over him releasing some docs about what the CIA did. That doesn't seem smart to show everyone your cards. Maybe 20 years from now, go for it. But doing so now seems like a bad move on his part. Especially since he can't/won't prosecute anyone. Basically pissed off both sides.

Sometimes the political talk isn't bad. Doug Stanhope has some idea which are different than how the show is.

I'd be interested to see where it goes since Ant likes Stanhope so much and Stanhope says whatever is on his mind.

Everything I have read about the "torture" techniques is that they do not work. I think it was the head of Gitmo's interrogations and the FBI agents in charge of interrogating another prisoner, that said they did not see any positive results from the more aggressive techniques.
I think the problem is, high ranking CIA officials and others in Bush's inner circle felt "torture" was necessary, without consulting the real experts on interrogation. The same thing they did with Iraq; they had a conclusion, now they just needed someone to write a reasonable rationale.
"Torture" presents two questions; does it work for interrogations? is it in our best interests in the long run? I would answer in the negative to both.

i've stayed away from the politics angle and tried to stay to the "mentally instability" angle

when anthony was talking about the torture, i thought to myself "i think i would agree with Anthony on the idea, but i don't like how it was presented". His beliefs is something i could follow, but the way he said it, blaming the "Libs" and talking over those who disagreed with him and going into the hacky "how can people forget 9/11 and that tragedy" was just so hacky and disingenuous that my gut wanted to disagree with him.

But when Jerry Springer was on the show...i gotta say, Springer shut Anthony down. Springer, with his liberal talk radio show, really FACE-d Anthony to the point where Anthony was just giving silly answers and then "we must agree to disagree" cop out. And I like Anthony when he finds a suitable political opposition and Ant focuses on being funny. When Ant is on the Fox news shows he really shines because hes more into being funny than right

Springer's point was basically Ronnie B's point of "America should have the anti-torture policy, but in the rare opportunity where we can get info, let's do what we gotta do".

As Americans we gotta say we are Anti-Torture. We gotta stand for something. But behind closed doors, if we need to do something and we know it can save some lives...lets look the other way. Embarrassingly enough, I didn't see that point when Ron was saying it but when Springer presented it, I thought "yes....that makes sense"

I guess if a real-life scenario like on 24 comes up where the guy you're interrogating knows where a nuke planted in NYC is and when it's going to detonate, maybe. But it would have to be about that extreme for me.

The lessons of the "enhanced interrogation" (my favorite euphemism since "ethnic cleansing") was that torture only works on people who actually know something anyway; otherwise, you get bullshit (as Nice Guy Eddie would say, "Beat on a guy long enough and he'll tell you he started the Chicago Fire! That doesn't make it fucking so!"). And we found out everything we found through "enhanced interrogation" using more traditional methods anyway.

The signal-to-noise ratio of torture is way too high. You get a lot of bullshit and stuff you didn't have to waterboard anyone to get. So even setting aside issues of morality and our identity as a nation -- you don't torture because it doesn't fucking work.

I was just waiting for him to blindly take the cop's side, not that I blame the cop; a mistake is easy to make and this one happened to take someone's life. I can forgive the cop for this. Anthony just couldn't wait to blame black people for this. The man who for the past year preached individualism, always manages to lump black people as one.

Were the races reversed, we'd have heard screams of savage, and that regardless of what uniform and training you give a savage, they grow up as savages and that is all they know.

I've been thinking about this since the guys have been bitching lately but didnt know where to post it. Do you think Sirus isnt promoting the O&A show because Ant is such a blatant racist and they could see where the show is headed with Opie and Anthony getting into on air fights and talking about "side projects"?

No.

First off, there are O&A promos being heard on other shows. I still have both XM and Sirius, and I hear them on various channels.

Let's also be realistic about O&A. As much as I still enjoy them, and while I don't like Stern's show, they are nowhere near as well known as Stern. Get outside of the NY/Boston/Philly area (and a few other cities) and O&A are still unknown. Howard, like it or not, is a household name. My mother knows who he is, for god's sake, and his show has never aired in my market. It makes sense for the company to take advantage of that fact, especially since the other big bucks signings (Oprah, etc.) aren't exclusive to satellite and aren't even on their own channels very often. (Insert hoohoo taking summer off jokes.)

Even if that's not the case, there's nothing wrong with promoting what's on other channels. I'm more sick of the Dave Matthews promos, or Jamie Foxx's. Or last fall's POTUS garbage. I know we've been conditioned to believe that everything concerning Stern and/or O&A are part of some grand conspiracy but it's really not the case.

Slacker is on my Squeezeboxes...and updates to Last.FM. I've created a couple of different stations that I listen to quite often.

And that's why satellite is failing...especially as they program these channels as if they're terrestrial stations.

I've been wondering for years why the satellite provider doesn't program 3-4 channels based upon demographic and not genre.

The idea of Jack wasn't that bad. It was the execution. Radio's so safe that even a so-called free form mix ended up being nothing but the worst songs from every format thrown together.

I agree. I have to believe that there is a large segment of the population that likes to listen to all different genres. Unfortunately, FM squeezes you into neat little compartments. Someone who likes Rock isn't going to like blues, and some old country? I understand FM stations are forced into their Top 40 formats, but satellite channels should be more diverse, not merely having more channels.

I can't see how this will ever end with Anthony. I got that douche chill on Monday and had to listen to Jam on XM 56 for a bit when he made "Uncle Paul remarks" about the new tween who is taking over Hannah Montana. Knowing what he likes in reality, it just doesn't sound funny. Its creepy.

Let me reiterate (tell you) a simple concept genius; we are paying consumers of a product therefore we have a right to add criticism whether positive or negative about said product. The show that O&A does happens to be the product in this case.

If you need this in simpler terms ask someone else to explain it to you.

There's criticism and there's bitching. Criticism is saying why you don't like something (the host doesn't show up for work, falls asleep during the show, is obsessed with race-baiting during the show) and finding solutions (host shows up to work, does more impressions, stops making jokes for the 20 or so listeners who've been to his house). Bitching, on the other hand, is saying:

He should prioritize what's important. Podcast that perhaps could be listened to by hundreds of people or a satellite show that may be listened to by thousands that pays him enough money to bang twenty somethings ( whether or not they are hot twenty somethings is taste)

He and Opie were saying how they all had to drain there sick days and vacation days.

Ant said it would be on a Monday or Friday. Maybe he planned to not come in and did a podcast cause of that.

Not saying I totally believe that, just a Devils Advocate kinda thing.

i actually don't mind the drunk miss-a-day anthony. with a choice between him drinking and having too much fun or being a crabby republican, give me the first guy any day

i think if Opie does a show alone, its only really good as long as a good comedian is on. I really like Joe De Rosa so i thought it was a solid show. But if its just Opie & Bob Kelly..not good enough. I think Opie can get the best out of the comedian friends

I liked last week's Opie rant about how they "Have it all figured out" and how "They are helping the company and are all about the fans".

It stunk of desparate, and when I called in to call him out on his bullshit young Lady Travis wouldn't put me through. So much for they will take any call.

Dude, this has nothing to do with him calling in sick. All I said was that criticism + solution = editorial. The overall quality of the show has diminished, and based on what I've heard, it's mostly due to Anthony's indifference to the product and the overall predictability of his humor.

Another idiotic Ant rant about the 2nd Amendment. Check the NRA's website, they will explain that the 2nd amendment applies to the Federal government, not the states. When you pick up an issue, try to educate yourself a little bit about it.

i could complain about the rant he did on the show yesterday...but lets give the guy credit, hes been a million times better on the air lately. He used to go down the political route every fuckin' day. The lack of activity in this thread shows that hes improved on the air from what he was. I have more posts than anyone in this thread but i think its right to give the man credit when hes doing better. I can handle one boring rant a month..thats fair to me. Every show has boring stuff they will talk about, as long as its not an everyday thing i'm cool

Last night i put on "Live from the compound" cuz i saw it was on and saw Ant doing the political stuff and turned it off after half a second. But if hes using "Live from the Compound" as an outlet to get out the stuff that his biggest fans want to hear but the regular fans are bored/frustrated with...i think thats a great thing

I don't get why anyone watches that crap. It's the same thing over and over again.

Hopefully Ant will have an open mind when debating the DR. on Wednesday but I doubt it.

I agree somewhat. But, like today on the show when he challenged Whoopi's ideas about the moon landing, saying she should educate herself and be responsible. Yet, for years he has been incorrectly stating what the 2nd is and how it applies.

Ant is very funny and smart. But, his thinking seems very binary.

HBox

07-21-2009, 12:52 PM

I have absolutely no idea how Anthony turned today's segment on Whoopi and the moon landing into a racial issue, nor how it even entered his mind in the first place, but I guess I just understimated just how big a racist he actually is.

I guess I should be grateful there is a lot less of this shit lately. But I think this showed a lot more of Ant's ugly side. When he makes a racial joke the second a black person is mentioned at least its a joke. This was angry, out of nowhere and a little disturbing.

I hate to say it but I almost wish Anthony would need a liver or kidney transplant someday. I certainly dont wish him death but apparently he will never appreciate the problems with healthcare unless it affects him personally.

Its not just about providing coverage for everyone, its about making that coverage affordable and not bankrupting people who need serious care. Until he needs to spend a third of his fortune or more fighting to get well, he'll just keep screaming "SOCIALISM!!"

I can agree that rich people "deserve" better cars and houses but its fucked up to argue that rich people deserve to live more than poor people. His "survival of the richest" philosophy, or whatever he said today, is beyond mentally unstable. But I recognize that his point of view is technically the majority.
